Arch management anticipates that similar patents will be issued, in due course, in various major national markets that are members of the Patent Cooperation Treaty.

This U.S. patent issued today is the second related to MetaMx. In September 2013, the USPTO issued Patent 8,530,429 bearing the same name. Both patents are based on technology invented by Dr. Stephen Robbins, Dr. Donna Senger and Dr. Jennifer Rahn at the University of Calgary who previously assigned the patents to Arch.

"We are quite pleased to see another patent get issued for MetaMx while we continue to work toward the first human trial to target and image BTICs and IGCs in patients with malignant gliomas," said Richard Muruve, CEO of Arch.
